Keeping the vehicle in the best condition possible is important for the safety of you and those around you. Going to regular maintenances can help to accomplish this. This can help prevent a costly repair bill in the future. It can also reduce the chance of other nearby parts from failing as well when the part has an issue. One important part to check is the radiator under the hood. Radiators are heat exchangers used to transfer thermal energy from one part to another for the purpose of cooling and heating your vehicle. Most modern cars use aluminum radiators and are made by thin aluminum fins attached to aluminum tubes.

To prolong radiator life, first always do a maintenance check on your coolant level. Your vehicle expends a lot of energy in the form of heat and this can cause serious damage to part of your vehicle if your coolant level is low or gone completely.
